Here is an email that I sent to Marukai recently:
Hi Marukai person,
I bought this candy in Japan. I LOOOOOVE it, but can't find it anywhere here in Hawaii. It's made by Kanro. If by some miracle, you could somehow order it and sell it at your store, I promise you that me, my friends, my coworkers, all in my family, their friends and their coworkers and EVERYONE who happens to buy it will frequent your store weekly in order to keep their candy jars fully stocked with this awesome candy.
Your most faithful Marukai shopper,
Jalna

That is freakin hilarious! I wonder if your customer service streak will keep going....
Crossing my fingers, Les!!
You are soooo funny. Hopefully, Marukai will take your recommendation to heart, and bring in tons of those candies to supply you, your family, your friends and your co-workers!!
Hope they bring it in for you!
j: ebay has it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japan-Kanro-MILFRUTTS-Fruit-Cream-4-Flavor-Mix-Pack-Hard-Candy-Japanese-/391177085851?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b13f8a39b
I searched on amazon first. Seems Kanro is a big biz but they don't have this flavor N
LOL, I didn't know you blogged about this today, haha, and I bought from EBAY just for us.
j: my keyboard died this a.m. so I could type (the C and Z didn't work) so I made my post short. The seller on that page will combine shipping if you buy more than one. Maybe you can contact her and see how much a bulk purchase would cost if you can get together w/ your friends and family to bulk buy from her. Good luck! -N
That should do it, Jalna! If they are paying attention! I hope you can make it happen! Good for you! I am all for consumer activism! ; )
I've never seen this before. I will have to try to remember this on our next trip to Japan.
That good, huh? I really like the strawberry milk candy from Marukai - miruko ichigo. I also want to try the crackers that MayBeItsJenny likes - Nomura's mashimena okashi, so if your email works, maybe I'll put in an order too, lol!
Fingers and legs crossed!
I wished I would have tried this when I was in Japan. I'm loving the tropical fruit flavors. I think they have it for $8 online somewhere : /
Hahahaha. That's a lot of people right, Lorna?!
I'm posting their response tomorrow, Kat.
Thanks N! My coworker saw that on eBay too and ordered it. Yay!
Thanks, Mark!
I only bought two bags, Kay. Didn't know how good it was until I came home and tried it.
I love the milk candies too, Aunty.
I swear I saw that $8 price online too, Susan.
Phew! You saved me some time. I was going to start looking to see if these were available in Hawaii. Now I know they are not. The ones you so generously sent me, strangely addicting. I would definitely buy these!
Winnie
Glad you liked them, Winnie!!
Jaina! ; ).....I mean Jalna....
Quick! I found them on eBay for you! Only eight left! Maybe even more sites on eBay are selling them. This is the first one I saw. How is the price and shipping on this for you?

Is it hard candy? If I can find in Japan, I will buy some for you...but you have to wait late September. It must be tasty since you like it very much.
Hahahahahahaha!!!! Too funny "Jaina". My coworker found those on eBay and ordered some. Do you do eBay? It's kinda too new-school for me, so I haven't looked into signing up. Gonna check out your $19.99 seller now though.
It is hard candy, Akemi. You're going to Japan again in September?!! You so lucky!
You always crack me up Jaina.....oops I means Jalna! ; ) ......keep going! My sista from anotha motha! ; )
Thanks, Mark!! You crack me up too.
